POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YOU COME TO AN ABRUPT SLOWDOWN TO ROLLING THE TRUCK WILL SHUDDER, CLUNK INTO GEAR AND THEN WHEN ABOUT TO STOP WILL LUNGE FORWARD AT TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHERE THE ABS ACTUATES DUE TO THE LUNGE FROM THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END THE VEHICLE INFRONT. IN THE TOYOTA TACOMA FORUMS THERE ARE MANY WHOM EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE BUT TOYOTA SEEMS TO NOT RESOLVE IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
12/9/17 THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SNOW ON MY DRIVEWAY. MY DRIVEWAY IS SLIGHTLY ON AN INCLINE AND THEN LEVELS OFF AT THE TOP I PUT MY VEHICLE INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND PROCEEDED UP THE DRIVEWAY WITH NO PROBLEM. I DEACTIVATED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND PLACED MY VEHICLE IN PARK W/O USING THE E BRAKE. I NEVER USE THE BRAKE WITH THIS VEHICLE OR MY PRIOR VEHICLE A TUNDRA. TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER MY DAUGHTER INFORMS ME THAT SHE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND OBSERVED MY VEHICLE HAD ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVE WAY STRIKING A TREE. WHEN I WENT TO INVESTIGATE I OBSERVED THAT MY VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK. ALSO THERE WERE TIRE TREAD MARKS ON THE GRASS AND NOT SKID MARKS. QUESTION IS WHY BEING PARKED FOR OVER TWO HOURS THIS OCCURRED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER SHOT UP TO 60 MPH FOR NO REASON. TACHOMETER STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN FOR NO REASON AS WELL. KEPT HAVING PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF WEEK. TOOK IT INTO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD AT LEAST 6-7 OTHER NEW TACOMA'S THAT HAD THIS ISSUE ALREADY. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER ISSUE WITH 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA'S HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LEAST A COUPLE OF MONTHS, IF NOT LONGER BEFORE I BOUGHT MY TACOMA. HOWEVER, NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP DISCLOSED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED MY TACOMA THAT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY TACOMA WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH UNTIL TOYOTA REPAIRED IT.

6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS ALWAYS ON A HIGHER GEAR. OFTEN LUGS THE TRUCK AROUND AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT FROM ROLLING AS THE TRUCK OFTEN STAYS AT A HIGHER GEAR AND WILL EITHER LUG THE VEHICLE OR JERK/ROUGH DOWNSHIFT. WHEN SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED, TRUCK WILL LAG OR JERK. HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE OR BE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO TRANSMISSION MAPPING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AND NOT DISPLAY AN INCREASE OR DECREASE IN SPEED WHILE DRIVING. OR IT WOULD DISPLAY AN INCREASE IN SPEED UP TO 60 MPH AND THEN TREAT 60 AS 0. EX. I WAS GOING 45 BUT IT READ THAT I WAS GOING 95. OR SOMETIMES, IT WOULD JUST INCREASE ALL THE WAY TO 120 MPH AND THEN STOP. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE GAUGE WOULD STILL READ WHERE IT WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. I WAS NEVER SURE OF THE SPEED I WAS GOING AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER WITHIN A MONTH OF THE OCCURRENCE. THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 10 MONTHS OLD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 MONTHS. THEY ARE WAITING ON TOYOTA TO CREATE & SHIP A NEW SPEEDOMETER BECAUSE TOYOTA IDENTIFIED THAT THE SPEEDOMETERS IN SOME OF THEIR MAKE/MODELS WERE FAULTY.

MY 2017 TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A RENTAL. THEY MY TRUCK MIGHT TAKE UP TO 8 WEEKS TO FIX, ITS BEEN CLOSE TO 4 WEEKS SO FAR. I USE MY TRUCK FOR WORK AND AM CURRENTLY LOSING WAGES BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE TRUCK. WHY DO I NEED TO MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR THE TRUCK I DON'T HAVE? THE RENTAL IS NOT USABLE OF MY WORK AND THE DEFECT IN TRUCK WAS NOT MY FAULT. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD PAY FOR SOMETHING I DON'T HAVE. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS MATTER AND THEY SAID TO CONTINUE PAYMENTS BECAUSE I AM USING A FREE RENTAL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAK. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL H0G FROM TOYOTA. MADE APPOINTMENT AND TOOK TRUCK TO TOYOTA OF EL CAJON, MILEAGE WAS 15,002. WAS ADVISED THERE WAS SEEPAGE AND IMPOUNDED TRUCK AND PROVIDED ME A LOANER VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SECURE ANY FIRM ANSWERS ON WHEN THE TRUCK WILL BE REPAIRED OTHER THAN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS DAY 21 IN THE SHOP, REPORTS OF OTHERS OVER 60+ DAYS. I HAVE A LOAN ON THE VEHICLE THAT I HAVE CONTINUE TO PAY THOUGH I DO NOT HAVE A TRUCK TO DRIVE. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS I BELIEVE WAS SOLD ME A VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2016 KNOWING THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THE MODEL YEAR. MY TRUCK IS NOT UNDER OP CODE H0G316, SO MY PARTS ARE UNDER THE NORMAL ORDERING PROCESS. TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE SIMPLY PROVIDES LIP SERVICE ONLY AND NO DETAILS ON THE POTENTIAL RELEASE OF REPAIR KITS.
